Florence Welch has been getting style ideas from the Statue of Liberty

Florence Welch has been getting style ideas from the Statue of Liberty.

The Florence and the Machine singer – who is well known for her love of fashion – arrived at the Wyld at W London – Leicester Square party last night (19.05.11) and onlookers noted how the famed fashionista seemed to have dressed strikingly like the New York landmark.

A source told BANG Showbiz: “She looked great at the party, throwing shapes with her boyfriend Stuart Hammond while enjoying Wyld Shots.

“However, as cool as the headband she was wearing was, there was no doubt she looked just like the Statue of Liberty in New York – she even had matching sandals! It’s an unusual place to look for inspiration, but for her it worked.”

Florence was joined at the event by Hollywood legend Cuba Gooding Jr. and British fashionista Alexa Chung, who all enjoyed the music put on for them by a host of DJs including Nick Grimshaw.

The ‘Dog Days Are Over’ hitmaker has previously admitted it took her a long time to develop her own sense of style and feel confident in her looks.

She said: “When did I first feel beautiful? It took a long time because I was a short, chubby kid. It wasn’t until I was 17 that I grew into myself and started wearing the clothes that I wanted to wear.

“As a teenager, my best friend and I started going to burlesque shows in vintage clothes from charity shops held on with safety pins. I finally felt like I could express myself in clothes.”
